The role of Arimidex during a cycle
ad
I've read on other forums that taking .25mg of Arimidex (Anastrozole) during your cycle is helpful to keep side effects like gyno at bay, but is it necessary during a beginner's cycle of 500mL of test ethanate a week?
Because some say to only start taking it towaards the end of your cycle (so a 10 week cycle would start on week 5). Is this just misinformation?
Summary: When's the best time to take Arimidex during a cycle? Does it matter if you take it only towards the end?

First one you want to always start with is Aromasin or exemestane. It is different than all the other AIs as its a steroidal AI. This is very important. Its also a inactivator. In men IT MUST be taken every day. A number of studies have shown its effect is men is much shorter than in women. So its a ED thing. It also is one that has very few and minimal negative effects in men. It goes after the conversion process which is where the issue is when AS are taken. Arimidex which is the last one you really want to take as its just not very effective and focuses mainly on the wrong oestrogen.
This will usually cut your E levels somewhere between 50-65% @ 25mg or 1 tablet q.d.
If your levels are still to high and more specifically the ratios are off a very small dose and I means start small of Letrozole. This is a killer potent AI It usually is only needed pre contest and on those that have real sensitivity. Now you can add a combo of a SERUM in there as well and it must be a combo as without the AI SERUMS will actually increase you circulating levels of E. But for some they have serious sensitivity issues much more so than actual very high amounts of E. So a combo can help. The first SERUm of choice should toremifene vs tamoxifen. TOR is a next gen SERUM great of PCT as well.
For those that do not know the differences SERUMs block the receptors for E where AIs actually stop the creation or bind to the E making it unbindable to the receptor. The nice affect of these SERUMS is they counter the negative effect Lipid protein profiles caused by AI and AS.
It really is a science to this stuff and most guys are do not have the knowledge base to do it right so they follow whatever they see the "popular guy" doing.
Such as lets say you have a E sensitivity and you have ensured its actually a E and not a progest receptor sensitivity. What are the actual symptoms as different SERUMs have differing effect and affinity to certain receptor locations. An example. Tom and TOR both have general receptor affinity. They differ some But take raloxifene another 2 gen SERUM. Its thought of as relatively weak from some tests that were done. But it has a very high affinity for the E receptors in breast tissue. IN fact this is what it was made for breast cancer. What is a big issue for some guys? Gyno or breast tissue sensitivity. While it may be over all comparatively weak the fact that it focus is more specific makes it a good compound in the right combo. AI to get E into a better range and ratio to T and then something like ralox to handle a particular issue.
Look at letro as the oh shit AI. Crap I have bad symptoms right now and its out of control. I need to get it under control fast and then get the proper AI balance. Otherwise IMO you start with Aroma and go from there. Cost should not be an object when it comes to these as its not like you are paying GH prices or something. Yes some are more costly than others but your health is nothing to screw with on this part.
Kind of like how gauges are very critical to a modified turbo engine to monitor its condition blood tests are honestly critical when doing a AS if you want to do it right and mitigate negatives as much as possible. First a base line. Then a test to see what your bodies levels and effects of aromatase are. But this takes time and most are young and impatient and want to only spend cash on what will make them bigger.
By seeing how much your E jump and what the ratio is to T you can have a very good idea of what to expect with a cycle and not be caught off guard. Or second best is to get a test done by your 2 week at full dose of whatever AS combo and a base line of an AI.
There is no level of E that can not be controlled by a combo or aroma and letro not to mention combos or AI and SERUMs can reverse many less severe gyno cases. Just remember that ratios are important and E is a necessary hormone and when kept too low can be almost worst than the opposite.
Cheap Arimidex - http://www.rx-911.com I received the order and it was on time and the pills work great.
So maybe a good question to ask here is what the symptoms feel like, what to look out for? What does 'itchy' nips mean? Numbness? Tingly? Like a bee sting or more like your arm fell asleep?
Look out for swelling on your nipples and any type of itch or even slight irritation. Don't worry bro just keep a close eye on your nipples you will now if something is wrong.
JtizzleI was planning on taking it from the start of current cycle. But (at least in my case) the more research i did and the more I learned I changed my mind to having it on hand if and or when I need it.
Heck, I only use AIs when I take around 2000mg of test per week. At 500mg you shouldn't take anything, even at 1000mg I still wouldn't take them.
That is unless you have issues that need to be addressed.
2000mg a week hope that a type-o if not your a beast bro.
Definitely not a typo. There is nothing for me to gain anymore off of less test. Plus, I am taking 800mg of tren e and 600mg EQ too, together with HGH, IGF-1 and of course winny in the last couple of weeks.
I know exactly what I'm doing ;)
Shit bro that a whole lot of test. Well if that's you in your avi it shows
I always hold of on using it until I get sides like swollen or itchi nipples. I'll run it at .50mg eod for a week or two until sides reside.
Thanks man- that really helps me a lot!
No problem glad to help bro.
Still doing Clomid and Nolva for PCT: (12 weeks of Test)
PCT:
Week 13: Nolva, 40mg/day, Clomid 100 mg/day
Week 14: Nolva, 30mg/day, Colmid 50mg/day
Week 15: Nolva, 20mg/day, Clomid 50mg/day
I was always told to hold off on pct till 2-3 weeks after your last pinn if your running a long ester such as test e for the test to run out.
14 days to be exact.
Pct looks good. I always run it this way. Nolva: 40/40/20/20 Clomid: 50/50/50/50 But don't worry to much about it pct will always very depending on who you ask.
And I mean 500 mg of Test Ethanate a week.
What about a cycle of 500 mg of Test Ethanate plus 300 mg of Deca a week?
